we have a heart, the guts, and the brains for MRI
Professor Matthias Stuber, CIBM MRI CHUV-UNIL Section Head and collaborators have received FNS R’Equip funding for the project Low-Field MRI – The Next Frontier.
The R’Equip grant will contribute to the acquisition of the Siemens MAGNETOM Free. Max 0.55T ultra low field MRI system which will be hosted at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV).

The imaging team at IHU-LIRYC has recently developed a new technology enabling the first-ever coloured representation of myocardial scarring using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. To push its clinical acceptance, a set of image processing algorithms will need to be implemented, optimised, and validated on our clinical MRI scanners.
This will require the use of C/C++ libraries (e.g., ITK, MKL) and artificial intelligence-based tools to perform image segmentation, object localisation, image registration, and radiomics-based features extraction.

Congratulations to Dr. Christopher W. Roy for receiving an SNSF Ambizione career grant on the development of novel fetal MRI techniques! This grant enables Dr. Roy to expand his activities with fetal MRI, to establish his own research group, and to deepen his clinical collaborations in Lausanne and elsewhere. The project includes a PhD position on the development of fetal-specific dynamic 3D acquisition and reconstruction strategies – download the description below and apply before it’s gone!
Congratulations to Dr. Aurélien Bustin for receiving the prestigious Jeunes Chercheurs fellowship from the French National Research Agency (ANR) on “Highly detailed characterization of myocardial scar”. We all look forward to 3 more years of innovations and fruitful collaboration between Lausanne (CHUV) and Bordeaux (LIRYC).
Congratulations to Dr. Aurélien Bustin, PhD for being awarded a Junior Fellowship at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine for his outstanding early-career research and commitment to the society.
